QMK-OpenRGB VS FanControl.Releases

I found this fork of the QMK repo, do you think I could flash this version onto the Ergodox Ez and use it as usual, but with OpenRGB support?

I also have a custom keyboard running QMK (The iris rev 6, specifically). I have compiled my firmware from the openrgb branch and flashed it, added it to the list using the PID/VID according to what lsusb reports, but OpenRGB refuses to acknowledge it. Documentation on this process is sparse, so does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be going wrong?

So to make this work i used https://github.com/Kasper24/QMK-OpenRGB which is a fork of qmk implementing it's own controller for openRGB (WARNING! you can either use via or openrgb but not both since via uses all the bandwith).

There are also efforts to make QMK capable to control the leds via software. There is OpenRGB with unofficial support in a QMK OpenRGB fork. So currently no official implementation. Also see: QMK OpenRGB Protocol and QMK Compatibility

You could use the OpenRGB protocol. It is developed in a fork - https://github.com/Kasper24/QMK-OpenRGB

You don't really need PID, just a decent fan curve with https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

I think you're looking for FanControl https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases There is a bit of initial setup but nothing crazy, and it guides you through with a nice and clean UI. Once you're in, you can set your fan curve and all the smaller details if you want, like how long will the fans take to spin up or spin down, or how long to delay a speed change after hitting a certain temperature threshold so that its not constantly revving up and down

You could even replace all the fans with Noctua nf a12s and control using this and still have saved money: https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

MSI Afterburner should work for gpu fans. Motherboards typically have their own version of software for fan control, so you could use that (dl from mfg website), or there's this one that I know of that should work for any mobo (although there's probably others): https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

If your fans are heywire, draining your bats download fan control. Works great.https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

I've seen a lot of reccs pointing to https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases if you don't want to stick with your BIOS to control fans.

Being a Corsair PSU, you might be able to control the fan curve with this open source fan software

This app relatively the same feature, but is not open source and run only on Windows
